I dunno who wrote that, but ...
In science, a law is not something that is dictated to scientists or nature; it is not something that a scientist or nature has to do under threat of some penalty if they don't conform.
That sentence tells me that whoever wrote that is just .... Wow.
EDIT : I'll agree veeeeeeery loosely with some of his other points. But I think he's getting laws in physics mixed up with laws by the government.

You misinterpreted that passage that you quoted. He was contrasting the definition of a scientific law (which he listed above that), with the common language definition of a law (which is basically the passage you quoted, paraphrased) to show that they are NOT the same thing. So you actually read that incorrectly and opposite to what it actually meant, then said you disagreed with it when in actuality you were in full agreement with it.I dunno who wrote that, but ...

That's fine. All that this shows is that I'm not a physicist, and I'm not qualified to debate this with you.
All I'll say is that gravity works just as well under Newton's laws as it does under Aristotle's (or Socrates or whoever) using the paper that you've quoted for laws.

. It was more of a brief, informal discussion on the matter really. Descriptions of nature come in varied forms. Neither Newtonian mechanics nor quantum mechanics are wrong, for example, Quantum mechanics simplifies to Newton's equations on a macroscale. Physicists deal much more with mathematical descriptions of nature than scientists in other fields do. This may be why there is a misconception, actually - students learn about physical laws in physics courses, and then biological theories in biology courses, and then think "surely one must lead to the other".

What I'm saying is that by using his definition for laws you could either use Newton's gravitational law or you could use (I forget who said it) some philosopher and both would equally relate as laws.
The Reapers were capable of doing it within a few centuries.
I don't think there's any lore on how much there Reapers have explore, or how long it took. Feel free to point it out to me if you have a source.

Liara states it a couple times. Like when she talks about how if she could successfully hide she would outlive the Reaper's harvest of the galaxy.

Right, but take a look at his third law and tell if there's an and/or statement there.
Because there isn't.
There's only an or statement. Which basically means that I can create new laws anytime. At least until they are knocked down.
See my point?
EDIT : You have got to have some kind of baseline... And mathematics is the only one that I know of.

You would get along fabulously with Karl Popper, but how does any of this relate to what anybody was talking about?

I don't see the connection.
Bioware: I could have given you the world.
Bioware: I could have given you the world.
Fanbase: The world is not enough.
Actually,the opposite 
(some of the)Fans: Bioware ,the world you created is awesome,another game there will be amazing.
(somebody at )Bioware: No this world is not deserving another story. Here is a new one,few millions light years away.

Nah, ending to Mass Effect: Next:
The stakes are so high that the entire universe is fundamentally altered at it's very being, regardless of what the player wants.
So MENext2, in order to "respect player choice" rather than keeping the game in the same, "boring" old universe, is set in a parallel reality. Possibly involving dragons and blood magic

Nah, we'll go to another universe because the races kept universe-jumping technology secret or they reverse-engineered something they have no idea how it works in a manner of months.
